MANY PEOPLE SAY TO ME AH, YES WE SHOULD FORGIVE THOSE WHO HURT US, SOUNDS EASY ?RIGHT! BUT DO THESE PEOPLE EXPLAIN WHAT FORGIVNES IS ?TO ME ,IN ORDER TO FORGIVE , WE 1ST HAVE TO UNDERSTAND , THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THE ACT THAT CAUSED US SOOO MUCH PAIN. .. TO BLINDLY SAY , "I FORGIVE" COMES SO OFTEN FROM THE MIND , NOT THE HEART, BUT, IF WE AT LEAST ENDEVER TO SEARCH FOR SOME SORT OF UNDERSTANDING OF DAMAGING ACTS , WE MAY IN TIME FORGIVE FROM THE HEART. FOR INSTANCE, MY FATHER WAS A ALCHOHOLIC, SO MANY PROMISES WERE MADE TO ME THE CHILD, ONE DAY FOR INSTANCES AT AGE 12 LIKE ALL YOUNG GIRLS IN THE 60S I YEARNED FOR A RECORD PLAYER, "IM GETTING YOU A RECORD PLAYER ANOUNCED MY DAD,GET READY SATURDAY, WE WILL GO TO NEWPORT," SATURDAY CAME I DRESSED MY HEART LITERALY RACING WITH EXCITEMENT,NOW I WOULD BE LIKE THE OTHER GIRLS ! AND LISTEN TO ELVIS RECORDS, .....SATURDAY CAME, YES HE TOOK ME , AS FAR AS THE RAILWAY STATION , GAVE ME 1POUND TOLD ME TO GO TO NEWPORT AND GET MYSELF SOMETHING, HE DISSAPEARED, INTO THE PUB, THE MONEY WENT ON DRINK, I WAS HEARTBROKEN, NOW IT SEEMS SO SMALL A THING,YEARS LATER I REALISED BEING BITTER TOWARD HIM AND MY MOTHER FOR SO MANY BAD THINGS , WAS CORRODING ME!, SO I DID SOME RESEARCH, DAD WASIN A ELITE UNIT IN WW2, AND CAPTURED BY THE GERMANS, HE LOST MANY OF HIS TOES. AFTER , WW2 AND A UNHAPPY MARRIAGE, HE SORT CONSULATION IN DRINK.........AT LAST CAME UNDERSTANDING!! WITH UNDERSTANDING CAME FORGIVNESS, IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY SATURDAY , 11TH MARCH, (I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD) SO IF YOU ALSO WISH TO FORGIVE, BUT FIND IT DIFFICULT, MY ADVICE IS, DO SOME RESEARCH, FIND OUT THE FACTS, BEHIND THE ACTION , IT DOES LEAD TO FORGIVENESS FROM THE HEART , HONESTLY, RUSTY |
